Harley M. Leete, Ye.
Since the Boss and.I have both
been writing colu mins under the
heading of Thinking Out WLoud,
Faithul Readers have occasionally
become confused as to-who was writing what, and why. HEAVY THINKHRS will pick up their copy of the
NEVADA CITY NUGGET and begin
reading Thinking Out Loud, expecting to find an eloqtwent disquisition
upon the iniquities of the Democratic
Party, only to find the column filled
(by this writer) with trivia that
scarcely justifies the name of Thini
either aloud or silently.
Such CONFUSION is all a thing of
the past, more or less, because now
this writer’s trivia, small talk, gossip, et all will be plainly labeled
wtih the above ‘title, BROAD
STREET.
BROAD STREET was chosen for
the title not only because it is the
main artery of our pleasant community; but because it is, in a sense,
representative of the sort of material
‘FUNERAL SERVICE
HELD FOR MELIO
SOCARO
A large group of sorrowing friends
and relatives numibering scores,
gathered in St. (Canice Catholic
‘Church and at the graveside yester‘day afternoon to pay their last tribute to the memory of Melio Solaro,
who lost his life last Monday evening. The fire department of which
he was a member, the city council
and city officials, were present to
show honor to the memory of a
young man who ‘had won respect, for
his kindness and integrity, of an unusually large numiber of his fellow
citizens.
Pall bearers were Donald Macari,
Leslie Orzalli, ‘John Sbaffi, Daniel
